The Geotechnical Software Suite

Eight Integrated Applications

Purchase All Products or One at a Time

GeoStudio is a product suite for geotechnical and geo-environmental modeling. It includes the following software products:

SLOPE/W for slope stability analysis

SEEP/W for groundwater seepage analysis

SIGMA/W for stress and deformation analysis

QUAKE/W for dynamic earthquake analysis

TEMP/W for thermal analysis

CTRAN/W for contaminant transport analysis

AIR/W for air flow analysis

VADOSE/W for vadose zone and soil cover analysis

With GeoStudio, you can analyze almost any problem you encounter in your geotechnical, geo-environmental, civil, and mining engineering projects.

GeoStudio applications are integrated, allowing you to use the analysis results from one product in another one. This unique and powerful feature greatly expands the types of problems you can analyze. For example, use SIGMA/W to establish initial static stress conditions for a QUAKE/W dynamic earthquake analysis. Then use SEEP/W to dissipate the excess pore-water pressures calculated by QUAKE/W. Finally, use the resulting pore-water pressure and stress distributions in a SLOPE/W stability analysis.

You can purchase all eight GeoStudio applications for a special package price. Al-ternatively, you can obtain each application as required for different projects. For example, you might initially purchase SLOPE/W for a stability analysis, and then later acquire SEEP/W when you wish to consider groundwater seepage. This flexi-bility means you only pay for different analysis types as you require them.

Typical ApplicationsGeoStudio applications can be used to model almost any geotechnical problem including:

Slope stability problems involving earth and rock slopes, including sloping excavations, embankments, anchors, soil nails and geofabrics

Seepage affected by infiltration, drains, and injection wells

Deformation resulting from staged loading, excavations, and fill placement or removal

Earthquake-induced deformation and pore-water pressure generation

Contaminant transport problems

Thermal conduction and transient freeze-thaw problems

Unsaturated soil behavior

Plus many more!

Product IntegrationExamples of using analysis results from one product in another include:

Pore-water pressures computed by SEEP/W, SIGMA/W or QUAKE/W can be used in a SLOPE/W stability analysis

SIGMA/W static stresses or QUAKE/W dynamic stresses can be used in a SLOPE/W stability analysis

SEEP/W pore-water pressures can be used in a SIGMA/W consolida-tion analysis

SEEP/W pore-water pressures can be used in a CTRAN/W density-dependent contaminant transport analysis

Excess pore-water pressures computed by QUAKE/W can be dissipated over time in a SEEP/W transient seepage analysis

Static stress conditions computed by SIGMA/W can be specified as the initial stresses in a QUAKE/W dynamic analysis.

Free Student EditionThe GeoStudio Student Edition is a free product designed as an aid to learning geotechnical numerical modeling. It is an ideal teaching tool for university professors both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The software contains limited versions of SLOPE/W, SEEP/W, SIGMA/W, QUAKE/W, TEMP/W, CTRAN/W, AIR/W and VADOSE/W.
